Research
I have a diploma degree in Informatik from RWTH Aachen.
Since I have always been interested in neuroscience I have chosen biology as my secondary subject.
Research interests
Theory of computation in general, especially with applications to information processing in the
brain. Therefore I am also interested in dynamical systems theory and how complex dynamics
can be useful in information processing. From my point of view
information theory might be
a good candidate to attack these questions.
